THE MARRIAGE OF FIRST COUSINS.
)o 'These UnIons Result in the Deteriora
tion of the Human Family?
[From the Courier-JournaL]
The lower House of the Kentucky
Legislature has declared against the
marriage of cousins on the ground that
children of such marriages are frequent
ly weak minded.
It is true that the children of cousins
that have intermarried are sometimes
weak minded, and it is also true that
they sometimes have certain congenial
defects such as extra toes, defective
senses, &c. It is also true that children
having similar defects are often born
of parents not at all related. The
majority of marriages of persons related,
however, do not result in such defec
tive offspring.
To what extent the law should inter-.
vene in matters of this kind has always
been a mooted question. Generally,
it has been content to prohibit..rnarri
ages within Levitical degrees, that is,
marriages between persons nearer akin
than firt cousins. A number of States
have gone further than this, and have
forbidden first cousins to marry. These
laws are largely evaded by going be
yond the borders of the State to con
tract marriages not lawful at home.
The general principle of law that
marriages lawful where celebrated are
lawful everywhere, aids this evasion.
The notion that defective offspring
is ajudgment of heaven upon marriages
of cousins is treated by the medical
profession as a superstition. It is ad
mitted, however, that the children of
such marriages that are weak-minded
or of defective physical developments
are somewhat more numerous than in
the case of marriages between persons
not related. But the physicians tell us
that the same thing is true of other
classes of marriages. An extract from
Maudsley, who is considered high au
thority on such questions, throws some
light upon the subject:
"When some of the evil influences
which notably give rise to disease
whether the poisoned atmosphere of a
miasmatic district, or the unknown
endemic causes of cretinism, or persis
tent intemperance of any kind, or fre
quent intermarriage in families, or any
other of the sources of human degene
racy, have enge!;dered a morbid variety,
the evil will, unless counteracted by
better influences brought to bear, in
crease through genarations, until de
generation has gone so far that the
continuance of the species is impossible.
Indeed, insanity of whatever form
soever, mania, melancholia, moral in
sanity or dementia, is but a stage in
the descent toward sterile idiocy, as
may be experimentally proved. by the
intermarriage 'of mentally unsound
persons for a generation or two, and is
sometimes demonstrated by the disas
trous consequences of frequent inter
marriage in foolish families."
The principle seems to be u:s. when
there are hereditary defects in a family
these defects are intensified in the off
spring by the marriage of t wo members
of the family having the same defects
in the blood. Precisely the same result
follows the intermarriage of two per
sons not related who have inherited
similar defects~of predisposition to the
same defect or disease. The marriage
of two mutes increases the probability
that the children will be mute; the
marriage of two persons of feeble minds
multiplies the chances of feebleminded
offspring.
No legislative body,.so far as we are
advised, has taken the responsibility of
prohibiting the marriage of persons
living in a miasmatic district, or of
those who live in the crowded tene
ments of great cities, or of those who
inherita predisposition to consumption,
insanity, or defective senses. Yet it can
hardly be disputed that the results of
such marriages are, in the main, more
injurious than those between cousins
not subject to such disabilities.
It has never been shown that the
enactment of laws to prohibit the marri
age of cousins has resulted in,a diminu
tion of the number of weak-minded or
physically defective children. Logically
such a result ought to follow if the law
could be enforced; but, as already noted,
so long as there are States where such
laws do not prevail theirstrict enforce
ment is impossible.
It is a doubtful policy to select one of
the least fruitful causes of defective
offspring for prohibition while leaving
all others untouched. At the same
time, to attempt to carry such legisla
tion to its logical consequences would
be a task of such stupendous difficulty
as to be practically impossible.

TOX WATSON'S WILD BILLS.
The Congresslonal Record of the McDufie,
Late Statesman Epitomized.
In the course of a lengthy article on
idioyncrasies of legislation in the last
congress, a writer in the New York
World sizes up the record of the Hon.
Tom Watson, of Georgia, as an erratic
legislator. He says:
While Mr. Miller, of Wisconsin, and
Mr. Butler, of Iowa, were thus carving
out niches in the temple of fame, a
young man, undisturbed by their
triumphs, unenvious of plaudits that
greeted them, pondered long and deep
ly over the unhappiness of the people
in general, the citizens of McDuffie
County, Ga., in particular. Thomas
E. Watson was born in Georgia nearly
tbirty-seven 3 ears ago. When he was
not farming he practiced law, and
vice versa. The combination gave Mr.
Watson what is termed in politics a
strong pull, and he soon became the
idol of Thomson, McDuffie County.
Thomson, which is famous for the
absence of the p, as well as for the
citizenship of Mr. Watson, is a pros
perous settlement of 800 souls, and lies
a few miles the northwest of Augusta.
In 1890 Mr. Watson was elected to
congress by a majority so absurdly
large that his republican opponent
may be said not to have run at all.
Everybody was for Watson-at least
that is the way it looked, and Thom
son was honored as never before. In
return for this outspoken expression of
Caucasian sympathy and inferential
evidence of negro approval, Mr. Wat
son felt that he had a special mistion.
He might be described as a populist,
with occasional democratic tendencies.
During the first session of the congress
he made himself felt sporadically and
heard more frequently, but it was not
until after the Christmas holidays in
the curent year that he came forward
as an electric reformer.
On the 9th day of January, Mr. Wat
son launched a bill of fifteen pages and
many particulars. This bill created
the office of National Inspector of grain
ad cotton, at a salary of $10,000 per
annum, w bo, in turn, appointed coun
ty inspectors, who were to receive at
onvenient warehouses deposits of cot
ton and grain and give certificates of
eposit. Then it became the duty of
the postmaster of the n.'rest money
rder office to issue to the holder of the
ertificate a postoffice money order to
rders for two-thirds of the certified
value of the produce mentioned in the
ertificate.
The postmaster was required to sur
render the certificate to the depositor
or his legal representative at any tima
upon the payment of the amount of
the money order and 4 per cent. in
terest thereon from the time issued.
The postmaster-general's duty was to
make an official statement to the sec
retary of the treasury each week of the
sums required to meet the money or
ders, and it was the duty of the secre
tary of the treasury t-cause to be printed
and issued treasury notes of the United
States in denominations from one to
twenty, in the form and material of the
national currency and in such sums as
may be required by the postmaster
general to meet the money orders, the
notes to be legal tender for all debts,
and the sum total of postoffice money
orders at no time to exceed $100,000,000
in excess of the sums paid in on ac
ount of same by persons redeeming
their certificates.
After this mighty effort Mr. WVatson
was properly entitled to a rest and to
ongratulations from Thomson. Ac
ordingly he rested. But on the 2d
day of February he launched anot her
thunderbolt, a bill to provide for an in
rease of national currency, to provide
a method for the distribution of same
by homestead land loans, and to pro
vide for the repayment of the loans.
In many respects this bill was like the
other, and permitted the government
to lend money to homestead land
owners, two-thirds of the appraised
value, at 4 per cent. interest.
On the 14th day of February, Mr.
Miller projected his philanthropic
schemes, and six days later the states
man from Thomson presented the last
of a trio of interesting bills. This bill
provided for the establishmen t, under
ertain conditions, of a sub-treasury in
every county in the United States. It
provided, furthermore, that any owner
of cotton, wheat, corn, oats or tobacco
may deposit the same in the sub-treas
ury nearest the point of its p)roduction,
nd receive therefor tresury notes
equal at thle date of deposit to 80 per
eentum of the net value of the pro.
ucts at the market price, the price to
be determined by the manager of the
sub-treasury. under rules aind regula
tions prescribed by the secretary of the
treury, based upon the p)rice culrrent

of Wilson's counsel said: "Wbile the

far never been any disposition on the

ain cution further than public safety
demanded. The organization known
bier as Gideon's Band threatened to
rom trammel the free expression of the
